Good exists - a Catholic comments

[The Grand Nudger]

People have, in at least one interesting respect.  It turns out that atheists tend to be far more knowledgeable about the religions they don't believe in than the faithful who do.  Probably a relationship there......

Consider your own intuitions about what the catholic church is and does, now and historically.

Hi GN, yes, some Atheists have deep knowledge about religions. Sometimes because they used to be religious but sometimes because they have studied and thought a lot. I’m very impressed by some of the comments in this forum. But we have to be wary of judging all Atheists by the knowledge of those who post on forums. The same for religious people. 
I was underwhelmed by the quality of the religious education I received at Catholic schools and I agree many Catholics don’t know much about their faith.
I’m on a personal mission to help deal with that in Australia. I can’t report much success or interest. That’s why Catholic mass attendance is at a critical level here. Much worse than USA, but it’s getting worse there too.
1:30am here, bedtime. I’m going to 2 masses tomorrow, assisting my wife who runs the children’s liturgy program in our parish,
Cheers Barry

Might be all the tax dodging, kiddie fucking, shit talking, extortion, and welfare scamming....eh? They see it like a product, so lets look at it that way. If you're trying to sell god, you'll have success. If you're trying to sell catholicism, it's a tainted brand. People leaving catholicism is what's keeping protestantism on life support here in the us. Zero sum games in the religious marketplace.
